It's harder than ever to pay tribute to MLK. The racists he fought are renewing their campaign of hatred. But we should remember the lessons -- nonviolent protest, create a culture of respect and belonging. And sing. I think we've forgotten that one.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social defunding ICE cannot be about polling for its impact on the midterms. It has to be about doing the right thing. Do not fund the government.

Dem leadership apparently still calculating votes on the ICE issue, as if there really are multiple options. This is a right/wrong issue, not a polling question.

I’m done with politicians and pundits on cable news telling us some version of, ICE would be fine if they just followed the rules and procedures.

THEY’RE FOLLOWING ORDERS‼️

I just dropped a piece on why “defund ICE” misses the point. Hear me out…

So that's the plan. Must be something similar about Greenland
So now we know how the Trump administration plans to help fund Russia's continuing war of aggression in Ukraine. Trump will steal the oil revenues from Venezuela & hide the money in Qatar, where Putin can take it to help pay for his stupid war, which has Russia on the verge of economic collapse.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Once protest is labeled “insurrection,” the next step is labeling dissenters as enemies. That’s the slope we’re on. The Insurrection Act was meant for genuine emergencies—not for a president eager to silence anyone who refuses to fall in line.

Yikes. Seems like this should be big news
At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions.

Time to wake the fuck up, all.
UPenn faculty condemn Trump administration’s demand for ‘lists of Jews’
Groups say EEOC demand for names and personal details echoes dark history and threatens safety and civil rights

"We have come here to oppress you. If you protest we will oppress you more or even kill you," is what ICE seems to be saying.

Money and power turning a blind eye bc Trump told them he needs this to stay in control.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

This is pretty bad all right but unfortunately also seems accurate with respect to where we are. The violence has started.

Frey on Noem: "That was some wild and crazy stuff. It sounds like she doesn't believe a single word she's saying right now. And I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water if she'd actually be able to speak."

They failed to convince us of their lies about Renee Good so now they are lying about the entire state of Minnesota, instead.

Trump even claims he won the state in all three elections, although he didn't.

And ICE was caught 10 years ago stepping in front of cars to justify shooting the occupants.
